God without man is still God.   Man without God is nothing.

Scripture ...
Luke 22:16

Reflections ...

First, Jesus shocks His disciples by saying He will soon suffer. Then He tells them He will not eat the Passover again until it is fulfilled in God’s kingdom. They knew that the first Passover occurred long ago when the angel of death had struck down the firstborn in Egypt, passing over all those houses marked with the blood of the Passover lamb. The act was completed more than 1,400 years before, but Jesus tells them it still isn’t fulfilled.

The next time Jesus will eat the Passover it will be a memorial feast in heaven, looking back on His completed sacrifice. Each time we receive Holy Communion, we partake of that meal, celebrating the new Passover, remembering His sacrifice for us, and eating the body and blood of the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

Prayer ...

Lord Jesus, keep me firm in this faith until You bring me to heaven to share Your great Passover feast. And throughout my days on this earth, work through me to bring many others to saving faith that they too may share this eternal feast with You in heaven. Amen.

Lenten Challenge for today …
Count how many friends (not acquaintances, but actual friends) you have outside your age-group. It's easy to live in a silo and expect that there's nothing to learn from people who are older or younger than us. Be challenged today to make friends with someone from another generation..
